Telluride Blues and Brews wrap-up...

Sep 20, 2010 by Anonymous

Ah, the Blues and Brews Festival, a weekend long party in Telluride’s Town Park that signifies the end of the summer festival season. As always, Blues and Brews was a blast and for 2010, an unlikely candidate earned the MVP… the weather; as there was a rare 3 days of complete sunshine and perfect temperatures that enveloped Telluride allowing for the Blues and Brews festivarians to enjoy a phenomenal weekend of music and beer in a dry Town Park. This year’s musical lineup included B.B. King, Galactic, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, Jimmy Vaughan and George Thorogood. As with every Blues and Brews, Saturday is the Grand Tasting so hundreds of beers from 50 microbreweries were flowing at an alarmingly drunkening pace for 3 fun-filled hours. While there will be a complete wrap-up of...

Festival Pick of the Week: Telluride Blues and Brews...

Sep 14, 2010 by Anonymous

With most of the state already into the off-season, Telluride likes to host one last party every summer. After Bluegrass, Jazz, Phish and the countless other festivals, it is many local’s opinions that they also save the best for last with Blues and Brews. “Blues & Brews is definitely my favorite (festival), it’s got a great feel to it,” said Scott Jones, a longtime local and manager of Telluride’s only oxygen bar, The Bubble Lounge. On a sidenote, the bar has a great hangover special that includes oxygen and a Bloody Mary. This year’s Blues and Brews lineup includes Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, Galactic, JJ Grey and Mofro, George Thorogood, Ronnie Baker Brooks and a slew of other top names in the business. B.B. King will close down the festival on the main stage...

Cultivation: The Seeds of Colorado Music...

Sep 9, 2010 by Anonymous

Fried Grease Dillon, Colorado There is a time and a place for almost any song or genre of music. Nowhere is that more applicable than when you hear Fried Grease. They bring together many different influences and styles. Even in the music industry’s genre name game the guys say, “We would like to think that our original music is a blend of many different styles, as we all bring many different influences to the table. It’s a bit old school rock and roll with funk and progressive tendencies. I guess we’ll leave it up to the powers that be to decide where we fit in.” So it’s up to you to decide what you hear. I personally hear jazz, I hear funk, and I hear horns- so I ultimately hear FUN! Saxophone driven with sexy melodies, funky undertones and a solid rock foundation, Fried...

Dyrty Byrds

Sep 9, 2010 by Anonymous

In the widely diverse Colorado music scene, there are many types and styles of music and ban ds. There is a new band on the scene made up of a bunch of Colorado music veterans who are set on bringing the rock and roll back, the Dyrty Byrds. The Dyrty Byrds join the forces of Tori Pater (guitar/piano/vocals), Eric Martinez (guitar/vocals), Mike “Spanky” McCluer (bass) and Mike Goletz (drums) with Outformation guitarist Sam Holt. Guitarist Eric Martinez states that the Dyrty Byrds formation was a seemingly natural progression of events. “Sam was coming out to Denver fairly often, and he would call up Tori and have him set up some shows, and I would play bass and just do it acoustic. Then we decided to get Mikey involved and do it as a full band with drums.” Holt, a co-founder the Atlanta based and recently disbanded Outformation,...

Blast from the Past: Scrapple

Jul 21, 2010 by Anonymous

Periodically, we will post articles from before Mousike had a fancy website. Way back to the summer of 2009… The Dharma Pig Lives By Michael Gerity It’s no secret that Colorado Mountain Ski towns have lost a little something over the last thirty years. Sure they have expanded and grown into giant winter theme parks, but just ask a local that has been there for more than twenty years, and you might uncover some- of the something that has been stripped away by this modern day gold mining. More often than not money is to blame, ultimately moving into each and every one of these high country towns (now chic villages), transforming or changing something that was perfectly good and memorable, to those that lived there the previous years. From the old school rudimentary...
